The authors use patent citations as a proxy for technology spillovers and we bring empirical evidence that supports the hypothesis that a US subsidiary conducting R&D overseas facilitates the flow of knowledge between its host and home countries.
The report presents the latest trends in foreign direct investment and explores the internationalization of research and development by transnational corporations along with the development implications of this phenomenon.
The authors explore how R&D project characteristics condition the governance of an R&D project and its individual activities. Through the analysis of detailed data from a subsidiary of STMicroelectronics, the authors identify the main drivers of partner selection for innovation.
This paper formulates a model to explain how parental care responsibilities and family structure interact in affecting childrens mobility characteristics. Siblings compete in location and employment decisions so as to direct parental care decisions at later stages towards their preferred outcome.
Using an integrated model of purposive R&D activity and human capital accumulation, this paper analyses the joint impact that product market competition may exert on the sectoral distribution of skills and economic growth.
This article begins with a description of the general structure of state R&D tax credits, and then explains how their true value can be measured, and how the average value as well as the availability of R&D tax credits have evolved over time. It concludes with a discussion of the implications of this evolution in terms of tax competition among states.
This paper clusters and ranks the research performance of thirty-seven Australian universities over the period 1998-2002. Research performance is measured according to audited numbers of PhD completions, publications and grants (in accordance with rules established by the Department of Education, Science and Training) and analysed in both total and per academic staff terms.
According to the report, there are five DOT objectives that guide the agencys research priorities: safety, mobility, global connectivity, environmental stewardship, and security. Most DOT priorities address more than one objective and are supported by several departmental programs.
According to the report, while total state support has increased over the years, the states share of total academic R&D has continued a generally downward trend since 1950, when it contributed 15.1 percent.
Electricity reform has coincided with a significant decline in energy R&D activities. Technical progress is crucial for tackling many energy and environmental issues as well as for long-term efficiency improvement. This paper reviews the industrial organisation literature on innovation to explore the causes of this decline, and shows that it was predicted by the pre-reform literature.
